      Daily as well. In the morning, in the nude after I use the restroom

      Weekly after exercise and shower and then I log the average at the end of the month.

      I only weigh myself once every other month now. I used to weight myself daily but got so obsessed with the number drop that I started eating significantly less.

      do what works best for you. when im in maintenance, maybe once a month, every couple of weeks at the most. when im in a deficit, about once a week

      I weigh daily, at 9am without eating/drinking anything, after going to the washroom and without clothing on. It's very consistent that way.

      This exactly, but the time varies depending on when I wake up.

      2-3 times per week.

      Average every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, sometimes once a week. But I notice I keep things more consistent diet and exercise wise when I weigh more frequently. I can see the crazy fluctuations of TOM and not freak out that I’ve gained 5lbs bc it’s gone 2 days later, but I can pick up on a upward trend and nip it in the bud before 3lbs turns into 10.

      weekly-unless I have been letting it get away from me- then I weigh twice a week until i am back under control

      When I'm actively trying to lose weight - then I'll weigh myself every day. Right now, I'm just maintaining - so I just weight myself once a week.

      Every morning aroung 5:45am as soon as I take my pajamas off.

      Daily, for the most part. It's helped me be much less wrapped up in and disappointed by the fluctuations, and I plug it into a website to track the trend for a better view of the overall picture.

      Every morning when I wake up. That’s the weight I log.

      Daily and I use trendweight.com to track fluctuations

      Daily though I'll miss a day or two here and there.

      Sunday mornings. I don't have crazy Saturdays, so the weekends are a good time for me. Doing it daily drove me nuts ( in a negative mental health kind of way), I wasn't consistent with every other week, and monthly didn't give me the kind of history I liked for tracking.

      Daily, every morning.
      Record Monday’s.

      Usually at least 3 times a day. I like to see the effects of certain foods and how water consumption affects me. Also, I don't freak out about fluctuations but it fascinates me how much weight ebbs and flows throughout the day.

      In addition to weighing myself every morning of my current fitness, health and wellness journey - currently 125 consecutive days - about 2 months ago I started taking a photo of the scale weight when hitting a new low. Today I did this which, for me, is a very reassuring visual of my progress, something I can look at during my next plateau.

      Same time every morning. Naked after I pee. I have to do it daily. If I don't I will slack off thinking I am doing better than I really am when actually I am gaining or staying the same.

      I was doing daily but it's too depressing as I haven't lost anything. Going to try weekly I think! I guess it depends if you see results quickly as to what works best x

      Twice each morning monitoring hydration level.

      I weigh every morning after using the bathroom with no clothing.
      I then log it on libra and text the number to a friend

      Everyday.

      Usually weekly for me. Because I work crazy hours days and nights my weigh in is on my first full day off when I have had a good sleep and before any food

      I'm team Everyday. Often twice a day once when I first wake up and once right before I go to bed. I like to see the dramatic changes overnight. I decided today to track it on MFP to make a "real time" loss tracker. It's close enough to Jan 1 to start for the year. I'm excited in a giant nerd sort of way. I have at least another 10 months until I have any hope of hitting maintenance, I have to find things to keep it interesting.

      Usually every day, but if I'm having a bad mental health moment and I think its going to destroy me, I'll skip for the day.
